MAUREEN ANNE W - barge for which I can find no details.

Goole - 20 June 2005: Some time later she ended up at Jackson Landing in Hartlepool Marina, looking as though she had been refurbished.
Seen there on 5 October 2011: More recently she has had to move from that berth, but I think she still remains elsewhere in the marina.

Another of her at Goole, 17/08/2005


1964, 208grt by Dunston, Thorne (T1154) for their own use between yards as HESSLE FLYER II
1978 MAUREEN ANNE W
I have a note she was at Hartlepool for conversion prio to 06/2007.

Nice bit of Living Space on her, Ron.

And if she was built for their own account, no doubt she was well finished.

Au contraire as they say in Lower Hebburn, if anything like her predecessor, HESSLE FLYER (did you guess?) she was probably very spartan, a basic wheelhouse and used for carrying bits and pieces between Thorne and Hessle.

All the wheelhouse area is new - she had the usual wooden fold down type. She was also used for a few years as the buffer between bulkers discharging cement and the quay at 12 shed KG - was in quite a run down state while doing this.

Poor Thing.....

In buffer mode at 12 Shed KG Dock .... MarkI digital camera, 1999

Well, thanks, lads, I know all about her now!
